Janina Grędecka

Met Mrs Janina Grędecka, a local resident, who now looks after the Jewish Cemetery. Talked to her at length about both her memories, and her late father’s memories of life in Piotrków during and after the Second World War.

Walked around the Jewish Cemetery and discovered that Ben Helfgott, another of the Windermere Boys and former Piotrków resident now living in London, had visited the cemetery the day previously.
